Lady of Ashes

Lady of Ashes

A Poem by Thomas W Case
"

Here's a link to my you tube channel where I do a brand-new poetry reading https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwmDj1yF6LA

"
What happened to your heart?
It used to be so strong.
When did these damn nights
get so f****n long

You're my Lady of ashes,
and I'm all burnt up.
You threw me in the fire;
And my soul has had enough.
I've had enough...
I've had enough,

I've had enough
Yeah.

This piece burns with raw exhaustion, that feeling when love turns to smoke and the echoes of “enough” linger longer than the fire itself. The rhythm is almost musical — grief masquerading as defiance. It’s the kind of emotional gamble we all take, risking everything for one spark, not unlike the rush at https://pinco-casinokz.com , where every risk feels achingly alive.

Such consummate exhaustion. The burn out. The need for a complete break. I can hear that in your words. Fabulous.

Much appreciated. Thank you.
This one sounds like the south end of a relationship. The speaker comes across as one who has borne much from a partner of longstanding. It appears the last straw has been drawn. No more roses here.
